Grifters of a feather stick together: Trump’s pick for US ambassador to Malaysia, Nick Adams, runs a nonprofit that earns ~$1.5M/year—yet he’s the only salaried employee, drawing a significant portion of the $500K spent on salaries. From Sydney council to "alpha male" diplomacy.
There are several controversies and points of scrutiny surrounding Nick Adams' nonprofit, the Foundation for Liberty and American Greatness (FLAG):
Spending Priorities: The organization spends around $185,000 on travel and over $400,000 on social media campaigns, raising questions about the allocation of donor funds.
Mission vs. Impact: FLAG claims to promote civics education and American values, but critics argue its activities are more focused on promoting Adams’ personal brand and political ideology.
Transparency Concerns: Adams also founded another nonprofit, 1A Warriors, supposedly defending First Amendment rights, but it has little to no online presence, prompting skepticism about its operations.
